Default Designing an inlet manifold for YB

Hello! I am currently trying to model up an inlet manifold for my cossie. Could someone help me out with some measurements? Will need the spacing and orientation of the bolt flange on the cylinder head aswell as the spacing between the inlet ports! (center to center!)

A measurement of the cylinder head inlet port would also help!

Thanks!

There are things you could do - like get a stock gasket and work from that, alternatively, make a template from the head bolt flange or original inlet manifold, or use a stock inlet manifold as a pattern, its not a simple shape and you would need accurate technical drawings of the bolt flange and the correct size and shape of the inlet ports

Yes, that is why I am asking for accurate measurements Just thought to check if someone had them, as I do not have an inlet manifold to copy myself
